Detach from the Media and learn to Pray - Marian Friars Minor

[@biddymc777]

“The heart has no other task but to approach God.”What a statement. This would be a very beautiful meditation over lent. Thanks

[@DOmni-gb2lj]

Mediation or meditation?

[@sandie157]

Agreed,an excellent topic for prayer and meditation, and we can start right away as well.

[@suzannehallock8174]

I love listening to him. I pray for a spiritual advisor just like him ✝️🙏🏻🕊️

[@HisLove4You]

Amen!! You just affirmed the reason I give up all social media for Lent every year!! Sounds hard? When Easter hits, sometimes I stay off a few *more* months because the feeling of peace (and production) bring me nearer to God and good clean basics. Thank you so much for this!!

[@akc783]

I love listening to this priest.

[@darylburnet8328]

To conquer a strong army, bring in division. I threw my TV in the bin. Now I view selectively on my computer what enters my soul. Praise you Jesus.

[@margaretmary1139]

I really like this Friar, he is so wise! Thank you this and God Bless!

[@Molly-ILJVM]

Excellent!! Thank you for the encouragement to stay focused on God at all times. The media is a near occasion of sin. Pray the rosary daily!!🙏🙏

Please GOD,,, give us the Graces to withdraw from media and all the vices that take us away from praying and loving U GOD,,, Ave Maria Forever,,, 🕯️🙏🙏🙏✝️🙏🙏🙏🕊️

[@melmckenna4599]

I made a resolution on my last retreat to keep my phone in my room, I am really struggling with this, please pray for me to overcome this distraction

[@catherinechong8672]

Praise the Lord! Yes, we just need to pray and our Blessed Mother (with the Holy Spirit living in her) knows how and where to direct our prayers. Let us pray and fast for the conversion of the whole world.

I've taken 1 mechanical bull ride in my life and it was in Idaho! Thank you for uploading!

[@Mementomorichild]

In my Marian consecration, we offer Mary *everything* including our prayers. So even if I want to pray for something specific, she's can take that prayer and put it towards something else. But she always gives us the best in return.😇

[@JosePerez-is6nn]

Blessing 🙏

[@hapilee5844]

Thank you!! May God bless you abundantly for all that you do for us 🙏🙏🙏

[@ethanbrown7198]

I've love that I have become more religious and that these videos are so opening to me in how to behave more like a true man and catholic, growing closer to God. Than k you

[@amytovar344]

Amen 🙏🏼

[@GeneralSeptem]

The original video this was taken from is still one of my favorites of all time.

[@blankblank8292]

Do you have the link to the original video?

[@frankyg6906]

Awesome words. I took his approach 2 years ago. It has helped with my prayer life

[@clair9167]

Ave Maria! Thank you Father! 🌹

[@asdfghjklmnbvcxzqwertyuiop21]

This what we must to do to work for the salvation of our soul.

[@jasonhaiflich8967]

I have come to learn that Attending to the Salvation of our soul will bring tremendous interior peace and joy, whereas no other motive can. Rather than sadness, and fear. I have not yet experienced tremendous peace and joy, yet I know that only Christ offers it. We hold on!

[@AntonEz1223]

[@flipneleanor7370]

Another great video, I love your channel. God bless and Viva Cristo Rey!

[@marycomstock5793]

Thank you and bless you for all of these clips and teachings. Need this so much right now. For a few years in the early thru mid 00's, I was on satellite radio for 12 hours a day, 6 a to 6 p, had to know everything, had to inform everyone; the knowing was a long standing/trauma/defense/trust mechanism; informing, from the same root, but from the spiritual perspective thought I had to be that Noah, that Jeremiah. I struggle with guilt of feeling gnostic, I see and know stuff and others just don't see it. The lunacy of 2020 got me off FB, then I spent inordinate amounts of time on Twitter and was led off of that. TV/old movies was my rest during my major depressive episode, and subsequent ones, so weening off of that because it is a near occasion of sin, as is now discerning YT content, striving for only spiritual. The 10 hour Gregorian Chant channel is usually on. I offer up hearing my husband on YT for all sorts of stuff and I hear it in the background. Thank you for reminder about ok not praying for specifics, I think I'm not doing my job if it's not specific.

[@Vigilantwarrior42]

This was desperately needed thank you

[@bv5278]

Amen. This is fantastic! All truth

[@kittyblaine7917]

No other task than to approach GOD🙏🌹✝️🕊️🛐📿

[@Caroline-wt7qf]

Excellent. Thank you, Father.

[@asdfghjklmnbvcxzqwertyuiop21]

Thank you for your reflection ..

[@lorettarobertson6705]

Thank you Father for this direction to deeper prayer life..God bless you Father

[@soulthree2240]

Wonderful, thank you for these wise words. I have to try limit my social media intake. God bless

[@Bradley-pgamer996]

Amen I needed to hear that

[@NothosXXI]

Thank you! In Christ's own words, it is like becoming like a child...perhaps that is true humility? If we would only hear and do what He says, the earth would be a paradise of Saints...

[@mirpaxvv]

Thank you Father 🙏🏻

[@jackiesalazar1141]

Amen I needed that 🙏

[@marklambrecht662]

Right on , right on, this is exactly why I don't follow any news.

[@aineoscanaill2377]

Brilliant

[@wishIwuzskiing]

There is some basic level of news that is practical and helpful. It was the news of Herod that had Joseph and Mary flee. It was news of the census that had Joseph and Mary go to Bethlehem. It was news of Lazarus' death that moved Jesus to go to him and raise him. There is some news that keeps us informed as to necessary action at times. But I agree that 24/7 immersion in news is dangerous and harmful

[@Manny51018]

Thank you ❤📿🌹

[@theresemaevergara2757]

🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏

[@acatholicsoulnow1303]

It's amazing! where can I get the full talk?

[@Ryan78900]

Seems like social media and television really play a part in making the faithful fall into SLOTH. I know it does for me anyway

[@jasonhaiflich8967]

Same here. I hate scrolling through mindless entertainment and vanities that I do not need

[@MaranathatoJesusthroughMary]

Good speech. What about being among the people like Jesus was?

[@josephinewalker6181]

So very, very true! Why, oh ih why, am I fascinated by trivial rubbish?!!!

[@LoantakaBrook]

Thank you Friar! This is exactly this is why I stopped watching the news. It’s nonsense. Plus and how do we know what is true vs opinion or propaganda? I pray for peace if there is war. The details are not important. Or I just pray Thy will be done. Pray rosary and give them to Mary. God bless ✝️🙏🕊

[@nonna5399]

Is this priest Father Wade Meneses of the Fathers of Mercy? 🙏🏼♥️

[@jasonhaiflich8967]

No this is Friar Anthony of the Marian Friars Minor

[@PP-ep1sn]

Is this Friar Anthony?

[@jasonhaiflich8967]

Yes

[@PP-ep1sn]

@jasonhaiflich8967 Thanks so much

[@Chiefab22]

[@MaryKane-qv5vz]

Turn off the screen. Read a book that will nourish your soul instead. Say the Holy Rosary. Pray for the Holy Souls suffering at that precise moment. Maybe just one short prayer would release the soul nearest Heaven. Pray for souls dying, say, in an accident or heart attack right now.

[@Tinkerlooful]

Garbage in - garbage out.

[@alanarcher]

I find it very funny that the vast majority of Catholics usually speak dismissively or rudely about Buddhism, and then go on to describe exactly the same doctrine, using different words. The works of my beloved Saint John of the Cross echo the words of the Buddha almost to the letter. It's a shame that even people with some degree of awakening/sanctity can't see that for simple lack of information.

[@jasonhaiflich8967]

Could you go in more detail?
